The performers in Isanti are mostly local and regional artists, with occasional visitors from the Minneapolis music community.

New musicians in Isanti should check the community center bulletin board for open mic nights, join the school music program, and connect with church choirs or community theater. Driving to Minneapolis for real gigs while building a foundation locally is the usual path.
